BOXES (detail). I was about to go approve the proofs for this new giclee print I’m doing, but my truck won’t start. *sound of me trying to start it for 30 minutes* Sales on this print have been slow, which is not your fault. But if you were thinking of getting one and were on the fence, or just would like something colorful for your wall, something made by a 38 year old man who I guess is going to have some auto bills in his future, something that’s taken from a story that he’s very proud of, though it was painful to make… well this is your chance!  And don’t forget that I’m having a sale until Monday morning, meaning you can enter discount code SPRING during checkout and get 30% off this and anything else in my store you’d like, as long as you hit a $20 minimum. Thanks in advance for your orders, and if you don’t feel inclined, feel free to share and that’s good too. Or, do nothing at all: you’ve earned it!

BOXES. A new 14” x 8.5” [EDIT: printer problems have changed this to a 12” x 9”] giclee print, now up for presell, which will last until Friday, May 3; all prints sold during this time will be part of a numbered edition exclusive to this period—AND they’re part of the sale mentioned below, so while they’re listed at $30, functionally they’re $21 during the presell.

Prints sold after that time will be part of a small unnumbered quantity debuting at TCAF. If you’d like to purchase a numbered print to pick up in person at TCAF, place your order as normal and then email me at dustyATdharbinDOTcom and I’ll refund your shipping costs and bring that mother right to you, along with anything else included in the order.

SPEAKING of orders, I’ll be running a spring-cleaning sale all week in my store, ending at 9am on Monday, May 6. Enter SPRING under discount code to get 30% off any order of $20 or more. That sale includes the above print! And pretty much everything else except the original drawing items, which will return once the sale has ended (and I’m caught up on orders, fingers crossed) also this Monday.

ANYWAY, the print—remember the print—is a redrawn version of 3 pages from the middle of my story “Boxes”, which is of all the things I’ve done creatively, the one I’m most proud of, though it’s pretty personal and more than half bleak. If you haven’t read it before, all 38 pages are up on my site, and it’s the last half of Diary Comics #4, which is available here and will be 30% off as long as you spend at least $20 in my sale—remember the sale?

I got my proofs back for the In The Woods print, and while it’s hard to see in this photo (taken in a rented truck while moving a sofa), the ink, especially in the dark tree at right, is so dark and textured and thick that it looks like velvet. I couldn’t be more pleased, and believe me I’m a picky m-f. If you’ve already bought one of these, you’re going to be pretty excited when you get it in the mail. If you haven’t, there are about 30 left right here.

THE MAGIC GIVEAWAY:

EDIT: It turns out you can’t run a raffle in North Carolina. Who knew?? Probably most people, and I should have researched that beforehand, during the first blush of “oh I know a way to drum up some money for TCAF tickets!” So I’m going to treat this as a funding drive. At the end of the drive, which I’m going to move up to Monday, January 28, I’ll do a number of random giveaways, based on the total proceeds. I can’t call it a “raffle,” but I will work out a way to honor the original intent and amount of any donations already received, as well as any going forward. If you have any problems at all with this, just email me and I’ll cheerfully refund your donation in full. And thanks for your patience with my blurry language as I try to ferret out a path through this publicly.

Original post below:

So here’s a thing I’m going to do, one week from today, to cobble together some money to buy my flight to Toronto and this summer’s Toronto Comic Arts Festival. I’m going to raffle off a set of more-or-less everything I have for sale, including stuff that’s long gone (where I still have copies). $1 a throw, no catch, just Paypal me $1 or more here, and I’ll stick your name in a little Excel sheet. If you send $10, I’ll stick your name in 10 times. On Friday February 1 I’ll have someone pick a random number, and the winner will get all this stuff shipped to them totally free, anywhere in the world.

There’s a complete list of everything so far at my site, and if/when I add items or additional prizes, they’ll appear there too. Thanks in advance if you can spread that around a little bit—it’s around $375 worth of stuff (*gulp*), so the $1 a ticket thing works best if there are a lot of $1’s in there.

MILES BY BICYCLE (alternate version) — a friendly reminder of my new print, in this case the alternate version, printed in a color/black-and-white scheme, essentially the lineart printed over a scanned textured background, rich black on cream and white. Posh! I’m about to go inspect the proofs of these at the printer, and then orders should start going out over the weekend. All of this is potentially a part of my holiday sale, where orders of $50 or more can get 35% off with discount code DHARBMAS in my store.

This is true you guys! Orders of $50 or more in my shop can get free shipping on the whole order and a free 8” x 10” Sagan print with code FREESAGAN, for let’s say at least this week. Early Christmas shopping? For yourself? I say why not, you deserve it *kisses you tenderly*

YOU GUYS! My old papercutter, that I use in the printing and trimming of all my books, is broken. The new one I’m buying is a handsome $439, so I’m having a sale to raise money for it. Buy anything (or a bunch of things) (or everything) on my store site and enter discount code PAPERCUTTER at checkout to get 25% off your order. So the 8x10 Sagan print becomes just $11.25 + shipping, etc. I’ll let it run until Sunday night—any money above and beyond will go to… well probably paying bills or buying Halloween drinks, honestly. But the papercutter first, THIS I SWEAR.

NEW/OLD PRINTS. I’m reprinting two of my most popular prints (the spooky cabin recolored, and the guy on a bookcase) in a slightly larger, more frameable size of 8” x 8”; and an even more popular print (Behold! The Dinosaurs!); and printing for the first time those two super scientist prints at the bottom, which should start shipping this week. All of those are available at my store site, dig in!
